Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Brother HL-1260. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Brother HL-1260 ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Brother HL-1260 décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Brother HL-1260 devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Brother HL-1260
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Brother HL-1260
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Brother HL-1260
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Brother HL-1260 ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Brother HL-1260 et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Brother en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Brother HL-1260, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Brother HL-1260, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Brother HL-1260. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    II - 4 2. LASER/SCANNER SYSTEM In response to the print signal transmitted from the external device, the main PCB generates the drive signals (DATA,VOFF) for the laser diode and sends the signals to the scanner unit. The laser diode in the scanner unit generates a laser beam modulated by DATA. The modulated laser beam is aligned into a parallel bea[...]

The print information, after input from the video controller circuit into the engine controller circuit as a TVDO signal, forms a toner image on the photosensitive drum. Then the toner image is transferred onto the paper by the transfer chargin[...]

    II - 7 Step 1 Primary charge As preparation for latent image formation, a uniform negative potential is applied to the photosensitive drum surface.

In addition to DC bias, AC bias is applied to the p[...]

    II - 9 A positive charge applied to the back of the paper attracts the negatively charged toner particles to the paper. The printer accomplishes transfer by using the charging roller method. Advantages compared with the corona transfer method are as follows: • Low transfer voltage that is less than half that for corona transfer. • Less ozone ge[...]

  • Page 26

    II - 10 3.2.4 Fixing stage The toner image transferred to the paper in the transfer stage is held only by electrostatic attraction and slight physical adhesion, so even a light touch will smear the image. In the fixing stage, the toner image is fixed by heating the paper and applying pressure. This fuses the toner particles to the paper to make a p[...]

  • Page 27

    II - 11 3.3 Operation When the engine controller circuit receives a print signal (PRINT) or a pre-feed signal (PRFD) from the video controller circuit, the engine controller circuit drives the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum. After the drum surface is charged negatively by the primary charge roller, the laser beam modulated by a DATA s[...]
